So, how much time do you think the local sports radio and newpapers will spend talking/writing about football vs what they do about baseball (hot stove)?

Which I think is more then 50/50
I my self love the Red Sox more and Baseball more, but really nothing is like football and that first week.
I follow both the same with the same interest, I watch both sports and when both are playing I watch both, I only will pay more attention to the other depending on the immportance of the game.
Michael said:I was listening to EEI a couple of days ago. Which I haven't done since Feb 6th. And they were already lamenting "don't you wish baseball started this week." Then they went into a hour discussion of how the fans feel about Clemens. And how they are all just fans of laundry.
PATSNUTme said:100%? Then how do we account for the fact that the 68,000 stadium is sold out for every game for the past 10 years? How so we account that the TV ratings for the Patriots are higher then for the Red Sox, even during playoffs?
You are right about the media being baseball. But, I think it's 50-50 among the sports fans. And a good percentage are fans of both.
PatsFan37 said:The Globe has an ownership share in the Sox. WEEI broadcasts Red Sox games. NESN broadcasts reruns of old Red Sox games (could there be anything more boring than that?) This accounts for their fascination with baseball.
Boston Boxer said:football and baseball are two different animals. Football is on once a week, baseball is one almost every day for about 7 months, so there is no comparing the two TV ratings. There is just no debating that Boston is a Baseball town...from the begining (1900) to the present win or lose. How long have our Patriots been beloved? Only the last 8-9 years IMO. Dont get me wrong, i am a football/Pats fan, but the Red Sox have been the favorite for a long time and that will not change.
